Ned, you handled this MUCH better than I would have, and better than it deserved. Good on you.

This is not how to deal with a moderator issue, just sayin'.

And way to potentially detract from it by juxtaposing it with your juvenile response. However misguided you may think it was, the OP was likely being genuine...

Chain of command.
PM to moderator in question, forum admin if it doesn't work out.
Finally, the moderators are here to help keep the forum running smoothly. They aren't here to make your forum life miserable. If you have a problem with the actions of a moderator, please talk to the moderator or one of the forum administrators (Kevin or just brew it!) through the private messaging (PM) system. We will do all that we can to work the situation out.

And those spuds came straight from Meijer in town. My guess is 150 feet is still broken-rib range. If I ever get to the Mythbusters shop, I'll try it out on one of their pig carcasses.

There are many people that browse these forums for the first time looking desperately for help with their issues and concerns. Forums should be inviting. Moderators are there to keep a certain level of decorum, and for people to follow forum rules. If people don't participate in the forums, and new blood comes in, then it becomes stagnant. Forums aren't supposed to be good old boys clubs. Anything done to further this goal is the right direction to take.
My humble unwarranted semi-related opinion to this thread. lol.
